The Young Lady is Gone (Seeking Follow-ups!)

"Brother, who are they?"

Luo Guixing had noticed the three people at the table in front of Luo Cheng. His brother should have been chatting with them just now.

He also noticed that among the three of them, there was a child about his age who had been sizing him up, so he returned the curious look.

"Customers. Once I'm done being busy today, I'll close the shop tomorrow and take you out to play for the day. After that, you'll have to go to the soul master academy and cultivate properly. The path of a soul master isn't an easy one."

Luo Cheng walked over and patted Luo Guixing on the head, replying with a smile.

"Mm." Luo Guixing nodded, then looked at Gu You again.

His eyes...

When Luo Guixing met Gu You's Golden Pupils, his body trembled subconsciously, and he hurriedly looked away. Then he glanced at the Bai sisters.

They were seriously burly. An eyesore!

"Hello, my name is Gu You."

Gu You spoke up then. This boy could be considered a little future prodigy, and he was also from the Spirit Transmission Pagoda, so saying hello might leave an impression.

"Hello. Are you a soul master too?"

Luo Guixing was fairly cheerful as he asked.

"I am."

Gu You looked friendly.

As soon as he heard that Gu You was also a soul master, Luo Guixing immediately grew interested. "My martial soul is Space Element Control. What's yours?"

"Existence Filled with Wrath. It's a beast martial soul."

Gu You answered perfunctorily. Forget revealing the true name of his twin martial souls. Though saying it would not really be a big deal, keeping a low profile was always better.

"Existence Filled with Wrath? That sounds amazing."

Though Luo Guixing did not understand what Gu You meant, it sounded profound, and it was a beast martial soul too, so his imagination immediately conjured up a powerful, ferocious-looking beast martial soul.

"It's all right, I guess..."

Seeing that his younger brother and Gu You were getting along well, Luo Cheng gave a helpless smile from the side, then turned around and continued making the remaining grilled fish.

Bai Haoze and Bai Zhicen exchanged a glance, then spread their hands and did not bother with it.

After they finished eating, paid the bill, and walked out of the grilled fish shop, Gu You was about to leave.

"Gu You, come eat grilled fish again when you have time!"

Luo Guixing stood at the entrance of the grilled fish shop and called out to him.

"I will."

Gu You waved back in agreement, then turned and left with Bai Haoze and the other.

"Senior, what are we doing now? Going straight to the auction?"

On the street by the roadside, Gu You looked at Bai Haoze and asked what they should do next.

"We'll take a cab to the inner city first and find a place to stay. The auction opens in three days. We'll just wait slowly, that's all."

Bai Haoze took out her Soul Guidance Communicator and used it to call a cab.

"Fine. Are the funds Teacher prepared enough? If it's really a large-scale auction, the starting point would be at least a million, right?"

Gu You did not actually want to ask too much. What he worried about most was the issue of funds. With funds, there was nothing to worry about. Without funds, an auction would really be a headache.

"Relax. Of all the things you should worry about, kid, don't worry about money. The vice pagoda master isn't short on money, and neither is the Leng family."

Bai Haoze felt Gu You was overthinking it. Would Leng Yaozhu be short on money?

If she so much as opened her mouth, just the title of Heaven Phoenix Titled Douluo would have countless people spending huge sums merely to establish a connection with her.

Gu You realized that was true. He had been ignorant.

If they had ample funds, then he would have to spend properly.

After a short wait, the soul guidance cab arrived.

They got into the car. The driver was a middle-aged man, and he looked at the three in the back seat. "Going to the inner city?"

"Tiandou Hotel in the inner city."

Bai Haoze said calmly.

"Got it. Sit tight."

Tiandou City, inner city.

As for why it was called the inner city, that was because the current Tiandou City was the expanded Tiandou City. Within the expanded Tiandou City, the inner city was only one district, located in the central area of Tiandou City.

The soul guidance car traveled for about half an hour before reaching the inner city. Just before entering the inner city, Gu You first saw an ancient city wall, like an endless giant dragon, still standing after twenty thousand years.

After passing through the city walls, it was as if they had crossed into a whole new world again.

On the streets, people in traditional clothing walked back and forth, looking like authentic Tiandou natives at a glance.

The shops along the roadside had an antique style, and many hung signboards with words like "Thousand-Year-Old Shop" and "Ten-Thousand-Year Legacy" written on them.

If this were not Douluo, Gu You would have thought he had transmigrated to the feudal past.

The soul car stopped in front of a grand building.

Gu You was the first to push open the car door and look out.

Tiandou Hotel.

From the outside, Tiandou Hotel looked extremely luxurious. Intricate swan patterns were carved across its pure white exterior walls. Above the main entrance, the words "Tiandou Hotel" were engraved in gilded lettering, gleaming with gold light. It was all about grandeur.

Bai Haoze paid the fare and led Gu You into the hotel.

"Honored guests, welcome to Tiandou Hotel. Tiandou Hotel was originally established by the Tiandou Empire to serve the imperial family. Now that times have changed, everyone can be 'imperial.'"

After they entered the lobby, the receptionist was a woman in a plain long dress, her smile gentle and warm.

Hearing the woman say that, Gu You suddenly felt as if he had no choice but to stay here.

So if you stayed, you were imperial, and if you did not, you were a commoner?

"Three rooms. Top-floor suites." Bai Haoze handed over a black card.

The woman took the card and lightly swiped it over the device at the front desk. The screen lit up, and her pupils shrank almost imperceptibly.

"Please wait a moment, honored guests."

After returning the black card, her voice was even more respectful than before. A moment later, three golden room cards were handed over.

"The top-floor suites are Heaven No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3. The elevator is on the left, and someone will guide you there."

Gu You took the card for Heaven No. 1. Faint soul power patterns flowed across the surface of the card. Just this room card alone probably had not been cheap to make.

"That's all for now. You can wander around the hotel as you like. For suites of this level, meals will be delivered to your room at mealtimes. If you need to go out, call me on the communicator. Focus on cultivating as much as possible and wait for the auction three days from now."

After taking care of the accommodation issue, Bai Haoze left his communication contact with Gu You and spoke.

"Understood. I'll cultivate. See you in three days."

Gu You put away the room card and headed toward the lobby elevator.

Afterward, under the guidance of a staff member, he arrived at Heaven No. 1.

The room's interior decor truly broadened the horizons of this country bumpkin. There were all kinds of furniture he had never seen before, and even the walls were gilded.

Its location was excellent as well. The balcony faced the most prosperous district of Tiandou's inner city. Standing there at night, feeling the evening breeze and taking in the view—the thought alone was almost too much to imagine.

Gu You set down the Seven Deadly Sins he had been carrying on his back. The case was not light, and after carrying it the whole way, he only felt completely relaxed once he put it down.

Gu You stretched, then walked out onto the balcony and leaned against the railing, overlooking the ancient city.

Three days later, the Tiandou Auction.

He was looking forward to it.

Aolai City.

"Where is she?! Xiong Jun, where is the person I told you to watch?"

Di Tian stood proudly before a middle-aged man. Faced with his pressure, the middle-aged man showed not the slightest fear, his aura incomparably deep and solid.

But whether he was afraid or not was one thing. In the face of Di Tian's question, Xiong Jun was still drenched in cold sweat.

He had lost sight of the young lady. He could not very well say that he had been greedy for the delicacies of the human world, gone out to forage, and when he came back, she was gone.
